This review explores the translocation of coarse-grained polymer chains through extended pores, focusing on the results obtained under time dependent drivings applied either within the cavity (active pore) or at the polymer’s extremities (end-pulled). Additionally, the review discusses the potential application of polymer translocation in identifying protein secondary structures, and in this context presents promising preliminary outcomes.2025http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/16180310.1016/j.chaos.2025.116579http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/161803oai:zaguan.unizar.es:161803info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/E36-23R-FENOLinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2020-113582GB-I00info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2023-147734NB-I00info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN PRE2021-100456Chaos, Solitons and Fractals 199, 1 (2025), 116579 [13 pp.]by-nc-ndhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.esinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
